Description: |
Good — here is the revised **Starling integration fixed-price spec**, tightened and now explicitly referencing:
* Your defined internal interfaces / APIs * GitHub workflow * Your stack and architecture constraints
You can repost this exactly.
---
# Fixed Price Project – Starling Bank Business API Integration (PHP)
## ⚠️ Fixed Price Only
This is a clearly scoped integration project.
Provide:
* Total fixed price * Delivery timeline (weeks) * Milestone breakdown
No hourly proposals.
---
# Project Overview
We operate a UK CIS payroll platform (PayCIS) built in:
* PHP 8+ * MySQL (relational, indexed) * Object-Oriented architecture * MVC-style request framework * Strict naming conventions * TLS-only environment * Subdomain-based routing * Role-based permissions
The system already:
* Calculates subcontractor net payments (CIS + VAT handled) * Stores validated bank details * Generates structured bulk payment lists * Manages payment lifecycle:
* For Approval * To Be Paid * Paid * Maintains full audit logging * Uses defined internal service classes for payments
We now require **direct integration with Starling Bank Business API**.
---
# Important Architecture Note
We already have:
* A cleanly defined internal payment interface * Clear service-layer APIs for retrieving payable batches * Structured payment models * Consistent database schema
The integration must plug into our existing payment service layer — **not bypass it or rewrite core logic.**
This is an API integration project, not a system redesign.
---
# Scope of Work
## 1️⃣ Starling API Client
Build a reusable, clean OOP Starling client:
* OAuth authentication * Secure token storage * Automatic refresh handling * Sandbox + live configuration * No hardcoded credentials * Environment-driven config
Deliverable:
* `starling_api.class.php` (or equivalent clean service class) * Fully documented
---
## 2️⃣ Bulk Payment Submission
Using our existing internal API:
* Fetch payments marked “To Be Paid” * Submit via Starling Faster Payments API * Use idempotency keys * One batch or controlled sequential processing
Each payment includes:
* Recipient name * Account number * Sort code * Amount (2 decimal precision) * Unique internal reference
Deliverable:
* Method to send payment batch * Clean separation between:
* Data retrieval * API payload generation * Submission logic
---
## 3️⃣ Payment Status Handling
System must:
Store per-payment:
* Starling transaction ID * Status (pending / completed / failed) * Failure reason * Timestamp
Update internal status accordingly.
Database changes allowed if necessary, but must follow our schema conventions.
---
## 4️⃣ Webhook Handling (If Supported)
* Implement secure webhook endpoint * Signature verification * Map webhook status → internal payment state * Log raw webhook payload
Deliverable:
* Controller endpoint * Webhook log table * Replay-safe handling
---
## 5️⃣ Minimal Admin UI Additions
Add to existing admin interface:
* “Send to Starling” action * Starling reference display * Live payment status display * Error feedback
No UI redesign required.
---
## 6️⃣ Logging Requirements
Create structured logs for:
* API requests * API responses * Webhooks * Failures * Initiating user
Logs must include:
* Payload * Response * Timestamp * Account ID * User ID
Must follow existing audit log conventions.
---
# Development Standards
You must adhere to:
* OOP principles * DRY * No deprecated PHP * No inline SQL * Clean separation of concerns * Strict naming conventions * Existing schema standards
All code must:
* Be production ready * Include basic inline documentation * Pass linting * Follow consistent formatting
---
# GitHub Requirement
All development must be:
* Submitted via GitHub * Branch-based workflow * Pull request for review * No direct server edits * No ZIP file delivery
Commit history must be clean and logical.
---
# Security Requirements
* TLS only * Encrypted token storage * Idempotency protection * No double-pay risk * Strict input validation * No credentials in frontend * Webhook verification mandatory
---
# Out of Scope
* Multi-bank support * Open Banking aggregation * Refund flows * International payments * Credit card processing * Accounting integrations
Starling Business API only.
---
# Deliverables
* Working Starling sandbox integration * Production-ready live configuration * Updated schema script (if required) * Clean Starling API service class * Webhook controller * Updated admin UI integration * Deployment instructions * GitHub PR submission
Proposal Must Include
1. Fixed total price 2. Timeline (weeks) 3. Confirmation of:
